The Town of Lakeville Technology Subcommittee on Aug. 12 reappointed its leadership, approved prior meeting minutes and voted to move into an executive session on security matters that will not return to open session.
At the start of the meeting the committee reappointed the incumbent chair (whose self-nomination and acceptance occurred on the record; the transcript does not provide the chair’s full name) and formally named Robert (Bob) McNally as vice chair. Roll-call votes were recorded as unanimous for both appointments.
The subcommittee also voted to accept the July 1 meeting minutes by roll-call vote with unanimous approval.
